my first rehair/restorations

[PetSounds]

My first Dollyhair order arrived this week and so far I have made manes and tails for 6 ponies! I love it!
Poor Blossom (flat foot) came to me with a horrible haircut and no tail
She was my first rehair, using Wisteria. I still haven't gotten her haircut quite right but she looks so much better than she did when she first arrived.

Second is baby Starburst. She came to me with a horrible hair cut and also no tail (from the same lot).
I think she looks much happier now.

Pictured is a Sweet Stuff who had horrible cancer all over her head.  I have 3 or 4 of this pony and she was the worst, so I tried a sun/peroxide soak since I'm in SoCal. It worked very well and almost all the cancer was invisible and she now only has one spot. I am glad I started with her. She was in awful shape beforehand and now looks pretty good. I noticed her symbols faded, but only noticeable when she was next to my other Sweet Stuffs....

Since the twinkle was totally removed from her eye, I used Golden Acrylics iridescent paint to coat her eyes and give them some iridescence. It's not perfect, but it looks pretty cool.

I have also re-haired a teeny tiny pony, Morning Glory flutter pony, and did tails on a few ponies and am waiting for them to dry and get styled. So far I love doing manes on ponies, just need to work about how to get the hair cut correctly. <3 Yay.

What a wonderful job you did on those ponies.
SweetStuff looks like new, didn't know you could make the spots fade away. That's interesting since my Galaxy has some of them but she is still gorgeous.
Great rehairing

Thank you all I'm really excited to continue to restore. It is a whole lot of fun... I love taking a sad pony and making her happy again.

Thank you! The paint is a little thicker and has some small pigmentations in it... so upon close examination it looks very different. but, because it's thicker, from far away the eyes really really twinkle. These are great options for restoring TE's because I've noticed that each TE pony's eyes have a slightly different color to them. Golden has colors like Iridescent purple/green, blue, pink, violet, red, and each one looks completely different. I use them on a lot of other projects too

Your blossom is so sweet (is she from the 80's or the 2007 re release?), do you have a link to a website where it shows you how to restore old g1s? I've been looking everywhere (I have an old Snuzzles) but I can't seem to find one.
